Calendar
Initially, the schedule consisted of twenty-four races over six rounds across four countries. The planned season opener at Bahrain International Circuit was converted into the Trophy Event round. Furthermore, the last two competitions at Jeddah Corniche Circuit were converted into three triple-headers. The round at Kuwait Motor Town on 8–10 February was retroactively downgraded to another nonscoring Trophy Event round.[4]
Championship standings
Points were awarded to the top 10 finishers of each race, with reverse-grid races awarding half points. No points are awarded for pole position or fastest lap.
